As for the beads or bead lock. My 66 in my avatar has the original 16.5x8 non lock ring wheels but NO bead lock either. I removed the tires myself, once the air was out they fell off the bead quite easily.

I had got a set of Denman 8-17.5" and they are nice riding tires. They don't thump like older tires used to do when cold. They are very similar to the original Kelly Springfield tire in appearance. I believe they copy original molds. The 16.5 and 17.5" wheels have a very shallow taper, which allows tires to be easily removed. The 16" wheel have a much steeper taper.
